Capture of the Guadalupe

The Capture of the Guadalupe (September 1719) occurred when the pirate captain Edward Kenway, commanding the brig Jackdaw, captured and plundered the Spanish Navy frigate Guadalupe off the coast of Honduras during the Golden Age of Piracy. The attack on the ship came shortly after the Battle of Ambergris Key, as Kenway sought to take some lucrative prizes en route to his next meeting with Bartholomew Roberts. His ship ambushed the Guadalupe and incapacitated it, and his crew managed to board the ship and seize it after a struggle on deck. Kenway looted 45 crates of rum, 98 crates of sugar, and ammunition from the ship, and he salvaged it to repair his own ship before scuttling it.
